ADD TO CARTIn this online course you will learn
This 3-hour continuing education course strengthens nurses’ ability to apply critical thinking and sound clinical judgment in diverse practice settings. Participants will explore structured reasoning models—including the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM), the nursing process, Tanner’s model, and the Lasater rubric—to enhance safe, evidence-based decision-making. The course emphasizes prioritization, delegation, and use of decision frameworks in real-world clinical scenarios, while addressing barriers such as fatigue, bias, and communication challenges. Learners will also review California’s BRN standards (Title 16 CCR §1456) and legal/ethical implications of poor judgment, with case studies illustrating best practices. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with practical strategies to recognize cues, analyze data, and act decisively to protect patients, improve outcomes, and uphold professional standards.
